The Old Lady is Not Cute, Super Fierce

"You really want to do this?" Bai Feishuang looked at Zhao Heng in surprise, he didn't know what Zhao Heng planned to do until now.

"Yes, that's what Gu intends to do." Zhao Heng nodded, without wavering in his tone: "Only in this way can we prevent future problems to the greatest extent."

Bai Feishuang was silent for a while, and then said: "If you do this, it is very likely that you will face some people's encirclement and suppression. In future history books, it is very likely that you will be described as a stupid king, or even a tyrant."

Zhao Heng said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, and I think that those people can't make trouble, and they have to face opponents who are much stronger than them. In this case, protect yourself wisely, and then think about how to keep your biggest Profit is the right thing to do.

"What's more, as long as it succeeds, then the history books can naturally record how Gu did it, so this time, as long as he wins, everything will be fine. Coincidentally, Gu feels that the chance of winning this time is extremely high .”

Seeing that Zhao Heng was so full of himself, Bai Feishuang sighed, and finally said: "Forget it, I can't say no to you, since you said so, then I will accompany you."

"Actually, you don't have to do this..."

"The decision I made was originally like this."

Zhao Heng said helplessly, "Then why bother?"

Bai Feishuang said firmly, "Because she would think so too."

"Is she?" Zhao Heng looked at the sky: "Seeing the current development, I don't know if she will be happy."

Bai Feishuang said firmly: "Yes!"

Chapter 150 IX

Is it possible to restore that gorgeous palace in a month?

Shen Mengyan originally thought it was impossible, but Zhao Heng told her that it was possible.

When carpenters and other work are performed by a group of carpenters with good cultivation, the time for many tasks is shortened to several times the original level.

Even if it is not as luxurious as before, it still looks good. It used to be majestic, but now this palace looks more majestic and less majestic.

"Many times, as a place for political discussions, its impression is also very important, so he chose to make it the way it is now, not the way it used to be." Bai Feishuang said to Shen Mengyan who was watching the palace.

Shen Mengyan said: "Although I also understand this kind of thing, it's not just about people who have built it, it needs to be designed. Who designed it?"

Bai Feishuang said with a smile: "The design of this palace has actually taken several years. Ever since he decided to become an emperor, he has been thinking about making a new palace, but he didn't expect it to be used so quickly this time. "

Shen Mengyan didn't know what to say for a while. Even if she really seized power and became emperor, many people would choose to keep the palaces left by their ancestors. Before becoming an emperor, he was already considering the plan to demolish the main hall and rebuild it in the future.

If it is based on the evaluation of many scholars, then it must be labeled as a big treason.

For example, the man with a long beard who is standing there with his head up now has an expression of indifference and obvious contempt.

That person, Shen Mengyan, knew that he was Zhang Yue, the owner of Haoqi Villa, the gentleman, and Guo Zijian, who had competed with Shen Mengyan in poetry last time, also came this time, but because of his status, he couldn't come to the main hall, but stayed in the guest house in.

"Why are you looking at the gentleman's sword?" Bai Feishuang asked.

Shen Mengyan said: "It feels like that person will cause trouble soon."

Bai Feishuang thought for a while: "I don't think he will."

"Why?"

"Want to gamble?" Bai Feishuang said with a smile, "Just bet one tael of silver."

"Are you still short of a tael of silver?" Shen Mengyan looked at Bai Feishuang, and quickly went through the other party's words in her mind, thinking whether to make a bet with him.

Bai Feishuang said: "The money is not too much."

Shen Mengyan shook her head and said, "No gamble, you have more information, and because of my agreement with Zhao Heng, I didn't ask others what he was going to do, so I didn't know anything. Going on and having more information when the information is not equal People with multiple intelligence advantages bet, this is an idiotic act!"

Seeing that Shen Mengyan rejected the gamble without hesitation, Bai Feishuang could only curl her lips and say, "You are really vigilant, it's only a tael of silver."

"No, this has nothing to do with a tael of silver, because this shows that I am very likely to lose the bet." Shen Mengyan said: "As for things like a tael of silver, if you go to dinner, there is no problem spending a few dozen taels of silver what."

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Mengyan was unwilling to bet, Bai Feishuang said, "If that's the case, then I won't bet, but I can be sure that Zhang Yue won't object."

"Why?"

"Because he is the owner of Haoqi Villa."

In Shen Mengyan's view, this answer is equivalent to no answer, because there are still too many things that can be guessed, and there is almost no reduction.

So she stopped thinking about it and continued to look at the field.

In addition to the people in the arena, there were also officials who came to court, and each of them was standing, even if there were seats, they did not choose to sit down.

At this moment, the time is not the Mao time of the morning court, but the later Chen time, that is, after seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the sky is already bright, and everyone is almost here.

Zhao Heng also came out from the inside at this moment, looked at the people sitting in front of the tables and chairs below, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you can come here today, because what I want to do, without your help, would be impossible." It's impossible."

It is not like the imagined eunuch shouting "The emperor is here" and then shouting "Long live my emperor" below. People in the world, even though many people are still a little afraid of the emperor, but there are also many people. The attitude is the same as that of ordinary people.

Especially those from the big sects.

As for those officials, just as they were about to speak out, Zhao Heng stopped them by raising their hands.

Liang Heguang didn't speak, but the monk from Bodhi Temple clasped his hands together and bowed, and then asked: "The old monk is the heart lamp of Bodhi Temple. I don't know why Your Majesty wants me to come here this time?"

With the old monk at the beginning, all the quacks looked at Zhao Heng, wanting to see what to say.

The officials also looked at Zhao Heng, wanting to see what Zhao Heng, the emperor who had just taken office for a short time, wanted to do.

Zhao Heng said at this time: "Since I have prepared seats, I let you sit."

He said this not to the quacks, but to the officials who were still standing.

Afterwards, he himself sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials who were still standing.

Seeing Zhao Heng looking at him like this and what he said just now, the officials naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, and quickly sat down one by one.

There is nothing to eat on the table, only teapots and cups, which are filled with herbal tea that has already been made, suitable for refreshing after drinking.

Seeing those officials sitting down, Shen Mengyan couldn't help lifting her spirits. She knew that the main event was coming.

"For a long time, Zhao Guo has not only been controlled by the royal family, not only by the imperial court."

Such an opening remark made the faces of the officials change slightly, but the faces of the quacks all got better.

Zhao Heng didn't even bother to look at the faces of those officials, and then said: "Even if you don't admit it, it's a fact, that is, all the major factions and aristocratic families in the rivers and lakes have their own territories and control the people around them. Urban villages, nature, also played a role in protecting there."

In addition to joy, the faces of the Jianghu guests showed more suspicion. What Zhao Heng said did not seem like what an emperor would say. In their impression, the emperor always wanted to emphasize his concern for everything around him. Everything is under his control.

"I have always been very clear about this kind of thing, and I have always been thinking about whether it would be a good thing to control everything."

Bai Feishuang looked very happy, and he said, "It's started."

Zhao Heng continued: "What is the difference between the so-called imperial court and aristocratic families and sects? I thought about it for a long time, but found that there is not much difference. If I have to say the difference, then the sect is smaller and easier to target. Some problems, not like the court, are difficult to solve for many problems, because there are too many things to deal with."

The expressions of many officials have become extremely good-looking at this moment, as if they have been hit by a rumor, they communicate with each other in low voices and nod slightly.

"Local officials don't have to be responsible for the locality, because their appointments are directly appointed by the top, and they are not from their own hometown. Why do they think so much? It's better to be honest and follow the system above. Even if something goes wrong, it's okay. Anyway, you can't blame yourself, because once you blame yourself, it means that if you follow your rules, something will happen."

When Zhao Heng said this, he sneered.

Shen Mengyan knew that he was mocking her father.

"On the contrary, the major factions, because their foundation is the surrounding people, pay more attention to the life and safety of the people there, the efficiency of doing things, and their own initiative to choose, etc., are much more responsible than the officials sent by the imperial court. few!"

Having said that, Zhao Heng looked at the officials over there with their heads bowed.

If it was in the past, the official would have complained, but today, they dare not.

Zhao Heng's killing of his father and elder brother was no secret to the insiders. He was a ruthless person. Maybe he would just kill him after he refuted it?

The quacks on the other side finally sneered and said at this moment: "Isn't that right? Those dog officials are busy making money! If you make money to do things, it's easy to say, but in the end you make money but don't do things, what happened? We need our help to deal with the matter, what do you need these dog officials to do?!"

As soon as the dog official spoke, the officials quit. After all, when the emperor said something, they didn't dare to talk back, and these quacks dared to say such a thing.

Immediately, one person said angrily: "Well, you rascal, you dare to say the word dog official. Of all the ministers present, who didn't devote themselves to the country? Many people even suffered from illness because of being too tired. Do you know that How hard is it?"

The man chuckled: "I scold the dog officials. Since you are honest and good officials, why are you in a hurry? Besides, what's the use of being busy? If you can't solve the problem, it's useless to rush around."

This made many people nod their heads, but when several officials wanted to speak out again, Zhao Heng coughed softly: "Okay, I haven't finished yet!"

A faint word made both sides shut their mouths.

Most of those who have been able to get along in the rivers and lakes until now are not fools, and they all know whose home is here, and the officials naturally dare not disobey the order.

"The ministers in Fengjing, because they are under my nose, are not bad, but after all, it is difficult to deal with things that are too far away. The farther away, the more difficult it is to deal with. This is just like what I said just now. Those local officials never thought of doing a good job."

At this time, the head of Iron Sword Sect said: "I don't know what your majesty is going to say? I don't think there is any need to go around like this. Everyone is here today to see how your majesty is going to compare with your father." To deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

"This matter can't be rushed, after all, we still have to make it clear." Zhao Heng said with a smile: "As we all know, I and the ministers cooperate with each other to govern the government, and the major factions and families are all located in Zhao State. Different places have different jurisdictions.

"So I was thinking, can the major factions and aristocratic families organize an organization similar to ministers, and communicate with the court, and the court can also communicate with you when dealing with Jianghu affairs, so as to find out There is a way to solve the problem, instead of going down the road of fighting against each other."

Liang Heguang finally spoke, and he said in his extremely indifferent tone without any emotional fluctuations: "Your Majesty wants to replace local officials with sects?"

Zhao Heng shook his head: "No, Pavilion Master Liang misunderstood, local officials need to obey the imperial court's orders before they are willing to act, and sects will choose how to act on their own, which is still the same as before, but I hope that all major sects can unite with each other and abide by the imperial court's orders. The laws promulgated, on the premise of complying with the laws, make their own judgments."

These words made those quacks think about it one by one, Shen Mengyan even saw that Zhang Yue, who was still somewhat contemptuous of Zhao Heng, fell into deep thought.

On the contrary, those ministers wanted to object one by one, but dared not speak out.

And Shen Mengyan finally understood the meaning of Bai Feishuang's sentence "Zhang Yue will not object because he is the owner of Haoqi Villa".

Zhao Heng's plan is of great benefit to the forces in Jianghu. From the original control in the gray area, it will directly become the control on the surface. Even though they were really in control before, they still have to argue with the local officials. There are also many troublesome things, and now it is tantamount to the court's recognition of the sect's status.

As far as the court is concerned, it is tantamount to losing control of the place, but it doesn't matter to Shen Mengyan, after all, there is not much control in essence.

And here, the most critical point is what Zhao Heng said, obeying the laws issued by the court.

This must be the center of contention.

Sure enough, someone spoke up immediately.

And the person who made the noise was Zhuang Zhangyue of Haoqi Villa, the gentleman sword who originally shouted that he should destroy the martial arts sect.

Zhang Yue saluted and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have a question."

"Jun Zi Jian please tell me."

"Your Majesty, you said that you must abide by the law issued by the court, so how did this law come about? How did it pass?" Zhang Yue asked the most critical question.

If a particularly serious law restricting oneself is passed casually, then it is not child's play.

Zhao Heng said with a smile: "Naturally, I have to discuss with you, and I think we will spend the next few days here in order to obtain a law that satisfies everyone. Of course, I will What must be explained is that this law must not violate the laws and justice of heaven!"

"Absolutely, the next step is probably to let these sect forces send people to Fengjing one by one. As the agent of the sect, they will slowly divide the major families." Shen Mengyan whispered.

Bai Feishuang looked at Shen Mengyan in surprise: "Do you think the family needs to be divided?"

"The sect belongs to the capable and does not value bloodlines, but the aristocratic family pays attention to bloodlines, which will form an unfavorable rule. Zhao Heng himself is breaking the problem of the royal family. Will he not notice the problem of the aristocratic family?" Shen Mengyan said.
